iTero Dental Impressions

DellagioDentist.com is now offering patients a more comfortable, convenient alternative to the dreaded “goo” associated with dental impressions. The iTero Intraoral Scanner allows doctors to take a 3-D digital scan, or picture, of a patient’s teeth and bite, rather than using a viscous impression material. Not only is the iTero Intraoral Scanner significantly more patient-friendly, but it also offers increased precision and eliminates the risks of gagging or swallowing excess impression gel.

Prior to receiving braces, retainers or Invisalign, a patient must have impressions taken of his or her existing smile in order to plan an appropriate orthodontic procedure. Traditionally, dental impressions were taken by inserting large metal trays and liquid plaster against the upper and lower jaw. The material sets to become an elastic solid, providing a detailed replica of a patient’s smile. This method is uncomfortable, time-consuming and oftentimes inaccurate.

Now, DellagioDentist.com is able to provide our patients with a non-invasive, 3 to 5 minute scan that digitally captures the form and structure of the tooth and gum line through a series of 3-D pictures. This digital impression scanner performs parallel confocal scanning by capturing 100,000 laser points in perfect focus, providing greater accuracy to patients and virtually eliminating return appointments for readjustments. A new and improved digital “map of the mouth” helps our team educate our patients for a better in-office experience and a healthier future.
